    About this audiobook

    Born an Outcast, Talyn Batur has spent the whole of his life fighting against the prejudice of his people. An Andarion without a father is not something anyone wants to be.
    But when his companion's brother draws him into a plot against the Andarion crown, he finds himself torn between the loyalty to their planetary government that his mother has beaten into him and his own beliefs of justice and right.
    Now, he must decide for himself to remain a pawn of their government or to defy everything and everyone he's ever known to stand up to tyranny. It's a gamble that will either save his life or end it. And when old enemies align with new ones, it's more than just his own life at risk. And more than just his homeworld that will end should he fail.

      It gets an extra half-star for keeping me up way past my bedtime, I should know better than telling myself that I'll just read a few pages of Sherrilyn Kenyon before I go to sleep, nope, whole book.Talyn Batur is an outcast who fights to ensure that he and his mother retain their places in the fighting forces. He's good at what he does but as an outcaste he can't marry, when he sees a girl on a companion website he's attracted and he wants to do something. When she takes the contract she hears some things about him that scare her, but what she finds from him is different. He's embroiled in the mess that is the Andarion culture and struggle for the throne, and his life will never be the same again.I really enjoyed it, but man that society is messed up.
    • 5/5
      Loved it! Talyn and Felicia's story is heart wrenching but at the same time beautiful. The love between the two came pretty fast, but it worked well. As many Kenyon books I've read I'm still in awe of the amazing characters she creates. Years ago when I picked up the first book Born of Night, I didn't think I would like it. But it was captivating and addicting. Haven't missed a book since. Born of Defiance is intense, sexy and many times sweet. A must read in my book.Born of Defiance is narrated by Fred Berman. As ever he does an amazing job bring the story and characters alive.
